Nano-structure and Phase Transitions in the Liquid Phase of Metallic and Non-metallic Elements

Vezzoli G.C., Institute for the Basic Sciences, US

The generally accepted version of the structure of the liquid phase is that of a single "homogeneous" phase, with a structure which is more or less homogeneous throughout the pressure-Temperature (p-T) field in which it [...]

High Order Parametric Resonance and Nonlinear Mechanics of Nanowires: Techniques and Experiments

Yu M-F, Wagner G.J., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US

We realize parametric resonances in a nanowire mechanical system using an oscillating electric field. The realization of high order parametric mechanical resonance in macroscopic systems is generally difficult due to mechanical energy losses and strict [...]
